196-		 1968 was International Year for Human Rights, which marked the twentieth anniversary of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Canadian Bahá'í Community made a presentation at a conference held in Ottawa titled The Right to an Identity. It was also presented to the federal government and specifically the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.

More than half of the presentation was dedicated to the question of the Indigenous People in Canada, an explanation of their culture and recommendations for action.
